Late joiners get an advantage, they only loose 1 point from last night's game. Everyone else picked the Pats, and I suspect put more than one point on the game.

Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
Yes PLEASE add your names to the Pro Pickem membership list for this season. It will be a good experience for you and NFL football.
I checked just before game time and 9 out of 13 members went with double digit confidence.
So any new members are definitely gaining a nice start of Week 1 Bonus on the rest of the Crew.
As a side not I was very impressed in what The KC Chiefs showed us last night. That team has a serious 'D' and some very quick footed men on 'O'.
On the other side the NE Patriots looked bloody terrible... just very ordinary. I can't wait to see how Belichick adjusts.

With 'only' Detroit @NY Giants remaining in Week 2 of the NFL Schedule:
I am very happy with what I am seeing so far and the Pro Pickem' competition. It is really tight at the TOP with only 2 CP's separating Six members.
Good stuff !

I felt that the early games for Sunday 1 Oct. 2017 would be a mess to pick right.
Right now and all games into the 4th Qtr.; Atlanta (-7.5) 17-20 Buffalo, New England at Home (-9) 23-30 Carolina and Jacksonville (-3) are losing 17-20 on the Road to NY Jets.
The Dallas Cowboys (-6) are trailing in Dallas to the LA Rams 26-24 Rams.
Detroit (+2) and in Minny are up 14-7 over the Vikings.
The Pro Pickem is a real challenge in early Season games.

Week Five is going to be a Head Burner for all Pro Pickem enthusiasts.
Of the remaining 13 games Nine of those have an 'Against The Spread' of 3 or less.
Two more are at 4 or less.
The way it's been so far this NFL Season, anything might happen.
There are some terrific Match Ups:
Carolina @ Detroit (-2)
Baltimore @ Oakland (-3)
Seattle @ LA RAMS (-2.5)
KC (-1) @ Houston
Minnesota (-3) @ Chicago
and the Game Of The Week 'certainly for us Packer fans'... Green Bay (- 2.5) @ Dallas.
GO PACKERS !
GOOD LUCK.

I was correct and Week Five is turning out to be just another 'Real Stinker.
Seven Dogs won the first 12 of 14 games this week. Six of those Seven were Road Dogs.
Carolina (R); Miami; LA Chargers (R); Jacksonville (R); Baltimore (R); Seattle (R) and Green Bay (R)
The final two games SNF KC (-1) @ Houston and MNF Minny (-3) @ Chicago are good matchups to look forward to.

OK Here we go and Week 6 and the Early Sunday Games ! What to do what to do!?
It's been a wild first 5 weeks in this Pro Pickem with many surprises or upsets.Will that continue today?
Is there anything predictable anymore in the NFL? See any so deemed LOCKS? The last time I touted a LOCK and that was Pittsburgh the Jacksonville Jaguars trashed my prediction.I'm not going there anytime soon !
Ohh yes I am.This is my LOCK Pick of the Week Six Schedule:
Atlanta over The 'Smokin' Jay, not led' Miami Dolphins. Lock it in but PLEASE don't bet the Home. You don't want another or bigger Mortgage. Certainly not the way Washington is. HOLY CRAP ! It's a good thing I cannot comment on that here or you would really get pissed with this Canuck ............hahahaha. Frick it !!

Holy Catfish ! The Road Dog of DOGS wins !! The Miami Dolphins (+ 11.5 ) Defeat the Atlanta Falcons in Atlanta..
Was I ever wrong and the lowest scoring 'O' in the NFL got BIG and got it done.
On Any Given Sunday.
Actually I've personally never had as ugly a day in 11 years doing the NFL Pro Pickem. In the crazy NFL that word doesn't really cut it and all we saw happen in games today.

What an ugly Week Six and forget the NFL Pro Pickem'; it was just plain ugly for us Packer fans.
We lost the BEST player in the NFL; we lost OUR MAN Aaron Rodgers. Does that mean the end of all hope and a Super Bowl birth this season; we'll see.
I want to post the standings thus far through Six Weeks of our Pro Pickem (See Below).
There's a long way to go and this has been IMO the craziest year I've senin 11 Seasons of Packerrats and this exciting competition. I encourage Y'all to play it out this Season as it's really a learning experience. If you quit you lose in terms of experience and some total interest in the entire NFL. So PLEASE Hang in there !
Standings
Rank ... Pick Set Name.............. Total Pts..............W-L Record

Hang in there Packerrats ! We still have hope and the NFL and Football and OUR Pro Pickem.
The next three Weeks of the Schedule are huge. In this Week Seven The Packers are Home to The NO Saints and then our Bye Week and Week Nine we play a Division Rival the Detroit Lions @ Lambeau Field on MNF. We have HOPE !
Have a great week Packerrats, Woody (Bert Bosch).

Algebra really does help:

Points, Competitor, point value tonight
84, VegasPackFan, 2 or 1
80, texaspackerfan, 7
80, Mad Scientist, 4
79, superfan, 7

If KC wins, it'll be my first win. 'Bout time.
Had 2 wrong, but the right 2 wrong. Only lost 3 points.

This is disheartening for me as I can attest to this fact. Growth often has a lot more to do with continuing to improve your position and not a lot to do with just needing to win.
Finishing higher in the standings as the NFL Season progresses is a goal to focus on and be proud of. Trying to get the most CPès in any given week is an accomplishment to be proud of. Finishing what you started is a goal to be proud of. To have to stop participating due to unfortunate circumstances is all together an other thing. I never want to see anyone suffer poor health or some other bad thing in their life.
I've been a Packerrat almost from the beginning and I sincerely care about the membership here.
After only 8 weeks it appears as if we are down to 10 participants from the original 14 for this season.
On a positive note:
Eight of these remaining participants missed on at most two Picks in Week 8.
Here are the TOP TEN Standings after 8 Weeks:
Standings
Rank...................Pick Set Name.....Total Pts......W-L
1.............................esoxx............647..........75-44
2........................Bert Bosch..........642.........77-42
3..................Mission To Mars........630..........72-47
4..................VegasPackFan..........613..........72-47
5........................TPB...................612............73-46
6..................ThunderDan.............604..........73-46
7..................superfan..................602..........74-45
8.....................wpony..................599............67-52
9.................MadScientist.............576...........69-50
10...Teddy Warbucks (pbmax).....562............66-53
The Green Bay Packers are off their Bye Week and have a huge game @ Home Vs The Detroit Lions. The Lions put up around 500 Yards of Offense last week Vs Pittsburgh and lost. The Packers need to win this matchup to keep itt even close with the Minnesota Vikings. It will be interesting.
Good Luck with your Pro Pickem in Week 9.
Regards, Woody (Bert Bosch)
GO PACK GO !
